Spits ({{langx|uk|Коси|Kosy}}),{{efn|Коси is the plural Ukrainian word for spit. The singular word for spit is Коса ({{transliteration|uk|ukrainian|Kosa}}).{{Cite web |author=Potebnia Institute of Linguistics |script-title=uk:Словник української мови: Академічний тлумачний словник (1970—1980) |trans-title=Dictionary of the Ukrainian language: Academic explanatory dictionary (1970—1980) |url=https://sum.in.ua/s/kosa |access-date=25 January 2025 |website=sum.in.ua |language=uk}}}} also called sandspits, are long, narrow coastal landforms that resemble sandbars or embankments and protrude into a body of water from a headland. Spits are formed by the process of longshore drift, in which waves impact the headland at a sharp angle, depositing sediment and causing the water's currents to transport the sediment down the beach, allowing it to accumulate in the area of the spit. Through the process of wave shoaling, this accumulated sediment becomes increasingly curved, resembling the appearance of a fish hook as the waves refract around the spit's end.{{Cite book |last=Allen |first=James R. |year=1982 |title=Beaches and Coastal Geology |url=https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/0-387-30843-1_432 |doi=10.1007/0-387-30843-1_432 |series=Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series |chapter=Spits |pages=789–792 |isbn=978-0-87933-213-6}}{{Cite book |last=Uda |first=Takaaki |year=2019 |title=Encyclopedia of Coastal Science |chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-3-319-93806-6_297 |doi=10.1007/978-3-319-93806-6_297 |chapter=Spits |series=Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series |pages=1623–1627 |isbn=978-3-319-93805-9}}{{Cite web |title=spit: coastal feature |date=20 July 1998 |url=https://www.britannica.com/science/spit-coastal-feature |access-date=15 August 2024 |website=Encyclopædia Britannica |language=en}} Often lagoons and salt marshes will form behind spits.{{Cite web |date=2 October 2015 |title=Sediment Deposition at Sea |url=https://www.nps.gov/teachers/classrooms/sediment-deposition-at-sea.htm |access-date=15 August 2024 |website=nps.gov |publisher=United States Department of the Interior |language=en}}{{Cite book |last=Zhang |first=Wenyan |date=12 August 2015 |title=Encyclopedia of Estuaries |chapter=SPIT |chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-94-017-8801-4_125 |access-date=15 August 2024 |publisher=Springer-Link |series=Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series |page=622 |doi=10.1007/978-94-017-8801-4_125 |isbn=978-94-017-8801-4}}

Numerous spits are located across the territory of Ukraine, including on the Sea of Azov and Black Sea's coasts as well as on the shores of major rivers. Due to natural and artificial changes, a number of islands in the country have become geographic spits as the straits separating them from the mainland have been filled, such as following the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine when Russian troops connected the then-largest island in Ukraine, Dzharylhach, to the mainland.{{efn|name=Dzharylhach Spit|Russian troops filled in with sand the strait separating Dzharylhach from the mainland in May 2023, making it a geographic spit. Before the strait was filled, Dzharylhach had been the largest island by area in Ukraine.{{Cite web |date=19 May 2023 |script-title=uk:Росіяни з'єднали Джарилгач з окупованою частиною Херсонської області, - Генштаб |trans-title=The Russians connected Dzharylhach with the occupied part of Kherson Oblast, - General Staff |url=https://www.rbc.ua/rus/news/rosiyani-z-ednali-dzharilgach-okupovanoyu-1684511879.html |access-date=1 October 2024 |website=RBC-Ukraine |language=uk}}{{Cite web |last=Simonov |first=Dmytro |date=18 June 2023 |title=Dzharylhach in chains: Russia's bid to destroy the nature reserve's unique ecosystem |url=https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/articles/2023/06/18/7407245/ |access-date=19 October 2024 |website=Ukrainska Pravda |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Kizilov |first=Yevhen |date=19 May 2023 |title=Russians connected Dzharylhach island with occupied Kherson Oblast |url=https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/05/19/7403006/ |access-date=19 October 2024 |website=Ukrainska Pravda |language=en}}}} There are also some geographic features that alternate in their classification as an island or as a spit based on variable weather and sea conditions, most notably Byriuchyi Island, which typically becomes an island in the autumn months when its narrow isthmus connection to the mainland is flooded by higher tides. In addition, there are several landforms commonly referred to as spits which are geographically islands, such as Tendra Spit in western Kherson Oblast, which is separated from the mainland by a strait.{{Cite book |last1=Falconer |first1=William |title=The Geography of Strabo |title-link=Geographica |last2=Strabo |author-link2=Strabo |publisher=George Bell & Sons |year=1903 |edition=1st |volume=1 |location=London |language=en |translator-last1=Hamilton |translator-first1=Hans Claude |chapter=Getæ III |quote="The western part of this strip of land [the Course of Achilles] is known as the Island of Tendra, because it is separated by a cut.

Historically, in classical antiquity, Tendra Spit and Dzharylhach both connected to the mainland coast to form a single, continuous spit called the Course of Achilles.{{efn|Also called Dromos Achilles (Achilles' Drome).{{Cite book |last1=Falconer |first1=William |title=The Geography of Strabo |title-link=Geographica |last2=Strabo |author-link2=Strabo |publisher=George Bell & Sons |year=1903 |edition=1st |volume=1 |location=London |language=en |translator-last1=Hamilton |translator-first1=Hans Claude |chapter=Getæ III |quote="Then we arrive at the Course of Achilles, a low peninsula; for it is a certain tongue of land about a thousand stadia in length, running out towards the east, and its width is but two stadia in the broadest part, and but four plethra in the narrowest.

Another former smaller spit was {{ill|Seribna Spit|uk|Серібна коса}}, which was historically located at the confluence of the Samara and Dnipro rivers;{{efn|Seribna Spit was recorded by Ukrainian academic Dmytro Yavornytsky as being downstream from the small islands of {{ill|Shevsky Island|uk|Шевський острів|lt=Shevsky}} ({{langx|uk|Шевський}}) and Hryniv ({{langx|uk|Гринів}}) on the left bank of the Dnipro and opposite from the large {{ill|Stanovy Island|uk|Становий острів}} ({{langx|uk|Становий острів|Stanovyi ostriv}}) located on the river's right bank.{{Cite book |last1=Yavornytsky |first1=Dmytro Ivanovych |author-link1=Dmytro Yavornytsky |year=1928 |script-title=uk:Дніпрові пороги |trans-title=Dnipro Rapids |url=https://zp.gov.ua/upload/editor/yavornickij_d-_dniprovi_porogi-_1928.pdf |format=PDF |publication-place=Kharkiv |access-date=2 February 2025 |at=zp.gov.ua |language=uk}} Due to the flooding of these islands together with Seribna Spit by the creation of the Dnipro Reservoir, the precise location of the spit is uncertain.{{citation needed|date=February 2025}}}} it became almost entirely submerged by the Dnipro Reservoir after the Dnipro dam's construction.

Political status

Following the Russian occupation and annexation of Crimea in 2014, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea-portion of the Arabat Spit, as well as additional smaller spits located on the Crimean peninsula, came under the control of Russian forces, who de facto administered the territory as part of the unrecognized Russian Republic of Crimea.{{Cite web |script-title=uk:Про затвердження Переліку територій, на яких ведуться (велися) бойові дії або тимчасово окупованих Російською Федерацією |trans-title=On Approval of the List of Territories in which Military Operations are Conducted (Were Conducted) or Temporarily Occupied by the Russian Federation |url=https://ips.ligazakon.net/document/RE39004?an=12156 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240523220315/https://ips.ligazakon.net/document/RE39004?an=12156 |archive-date=23 May 2024 |access-date=20 May 2024 |website=ips.ligazakon.net}}{{Cite web |script-title=ru:Конституция Российской Федерации |trans-title=Constitution of the Russian Federation |url=http://archive.government.ru/special/gov/base/54.html |access-date=8 July 2024 |website=archive.government.ru |publisher=Government of the Russian Federation |language=ru}} Parts of the small, northern segment of the spit administratively located in Kherson Oblast, including the village of Strilkove, were also briefly occupied by unmarked Russian soldiers beginning from 15 March before their withdrawal on 9 December 2014.{{Cite web |last=Grytsenko |first=Oksana |date=15 March 2014 |title=Russian troops invade Kherson Oblast, Ukrainians declare right to fight back |url=https://www.kyivpost.com/post/9357 |access-date=16 August 2024 |website=Kyiv Post |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=9 December 2014 |script-title=ru:Россия убрала войска с Арабатской стрелки |trans-title=Russia has withdrawn troops from the Arabat Spit |url=http://www.ukrinform.ua/rus/news/rossiya_ubrala_voyska_s_arabatskoy_strelki |access-date=14 April 2016 |website=Ukrinform |language=ru |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150717040912/http://www.ukrinform.ua/rus/news/rossiya_ubrala_voyska_s_arabatskoy_strelki |archive-date=17 July 2015 }} After the Donbas war, the Kryva Spit located in Donetsk Oblast was also occupied in 2014, with pro-Russian militants taking the spit's area and neighboring settlement of Siedove.{{Cite web |date=7 February 2019 |script-title=uk:Про межі та перелік районів, міст, селищ і сіл, частин їх територій, тимчасово окупованих у Донецькій та Луганській областях |trans-title=About the boundaries and list of raions, cities, settlements and villages, parts of their territories temporarily occupied in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts |url=https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/go/32/2019 |access-date=20 May 2024 |website=Official Website of the Parliament of Ukraine |language=uk |archive-date=26 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240526024225/https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/32/2019#Text |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |last=Gormezano |first=David |date=4 August 2024 |title=In Ukraine's Donbas, ten years of war and Russification |url=https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20240408-ukraine-donbas-ten-years-of-war-russification-russia-donetsk-luhansk |access-date=4 August 2024 |website=France 24 |language=en }}
